    http://the3factory.com/[^] It looks like this is another site plagiarizing CP articles without attribution. Anyone else have problems with these guys?

        Yea, I can't load them now either. When I found one of my articles on their site, I submitted a note pointing out their plagiarism on their "contact us" page. Now it looks like their site is down. I'm not even sure my form submitted properly.

        I was thinking about DDoSing the site, but considering it's current state, I think the site owners have done that job already.

        So the creationist says: Everything must have a designer. God designed everything. I say: Why is God the only exception? Why not make the "designs" (like man) exceptions and make God a creation of man?

              It looks like a pretty new website and hence my proxy categorization catalog does not still have a matching entry for it. How about the owner (from WHOIS)?

                Done a whois, in short he's a guy from China, registered the site with godaddy. Also got his full address, phone number and gmail on there. Why people don't pay the extra couple of quid for the privacy protection option I don't know.

                  It looks like they're sooo intent on copying CP, they copied the performance issues from a few months back too ... wow, that's dedication.

                        You can't get a hold of him anyway if he is in China... So why pay for privacy? Anyway, the site is reachable and does not perform too bad right now. It looks messy though. I think he wants lots of page views from search engines for his ads... Of which there are LOTS. There's an anti-spyware ad on the sidebar right now... ironic, somehow, uh?! Cheers, Chris

                            That whole Tibet controversy is nothing compared to the chaos that would ensue if we allow this to continue. They must be stopped.

                                    Ah... sorry, I don't have even the slightest clue :) Not only that I don't know a word (or char) Chinese, my English doesn't seem to be too good, either... I wanted to express that you could have basically written anything in Chinese, and I have no way to determine whether it was broken or not (but I guess you reffered to pronounciation anyway). Or .. something like that... perhaps. Peace! ;) Chris

                                      I was thinking about DDoSing the site, but considering it's current state, I think the site owners have done that job already.

                                      So the creationist says: Everything must have a designer. God designed everything. I say: Why is God the only exception? Why not make the "designs" (like man) exceptions and make God a creation of man?

                                      Why? Leave it alone. If there is any action to be taken, it must be lawful. Leave it to the CP management. Pointing it out to them when you find plagiarism is enough, IMO.

                                        That whole Tibet controversy is nothing compared to the chaos that would ensue if we allow this to continue. They must be stopped.

                                        With a little more motivation, China could go take back Korea (both of them), Viet Nam, Cambodia, and all the rest of Southeast Asia thus resurrecting the Chinese empire. If it goes the opposite way, we could see a whole bunch of new countries like Tibet.
